Sality is a malware dropper that acts by infecting other files on the computer to increase the chances of propagating further. If you did not run this scan immediately after downloading the client, it is much more likely that your computer was already infected with Sality, which proceeded to infect the installer.
Moreover, here is a full malware scan of 53 different antivirus solutions showing that Malwarebytes is the
only piece of software to flag VC:MP as a virus:

gta-vc.exe process upon injection), heuristic scans could flag VC:MP as a virus. However, most other antivirus programs are smarter than that, and do not do so.
If you're concerned your VC:MP installation may be infected, do a full scan of your system in order to remove any viruses you may have, and redownload the installer from our official website:
